We really really need a neum edition (or many) of the Missal chants

    This is really clear that there is a huge demand for a 4-line staff edition of the Missal chants

    Any takers? Would be a highly valued gift to the faith.

    I would be willing to work on this.

    Does any one have a suggestion for a preferred clef?

    Can we get a Google spreadsheet going similar to the one that Adam Bartlett has put together for the Simple Propers?

    I think the preferred clef is Do on the top line.

    (I'm willing to pitch in as I am able.)

    Here is a first draft of the Greetings made with Gregorio and LaTex.

    I used the Do clef on the second from the top line. This is what is done in the altar missal I have from the 1930s.

    (Edit: The forum software thinks that the PDF file is in fact a RAR file, so it will not let me post it.)

    Let us try again. Download the file and change its name from greeting.rar to greeting.pdf.

    Here's my rendering of the greeting. I have the intention to typeset all the Missal chants this way, but this will take some time, as there are many other interesting projects to work on...

    I like smvanroode's rendering better. I was attempting to imitate ICEL's original style too closely.

    Eeck! I just discovered that there are simple settings and . . . not simple simple settings. Some of the latter is truely in need of neumatic notation! The melismas! The melismas!
